She made promises on issues ranging from jobs, education and transportation to gun control, &nbsp;business regulations and aid for veterans. Will she keep them? To help voters keep score, PolitiFact Rhode Island has launched the Gina-Meter to track Raimondo&rsquo;s progress. We collected 20 promises from Raimondo&rsquo;s campaign website. Over the next four years, we&rsquo;ll review each one to determine whether Raimondo has kept it or broken it. Raimondo gave herself deadlines on some of her promises. She ... <a href="/rhode-island/article/2015/jan/04/politifact-ri-launches-gina-meter/">>>More</a>Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:01:00 -0500http://www.politifact.com/rhode-island/article/2015/jan/04/politifact-ri-launches-gina-meter/5 fact-checks about the high cost of college tuitionhttp://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/sep/01/5-fact-checks-about-high-cost-college-tuition/As students head back to college this month, many will find it a tough call about what&rsquo;s more stressful -- their homework, or their looming student debt.

They&rsquo;re all running in the Democratic primary for governor. And they&rsquo;ve all faced PolitiFact Rhode Island&rsquo;s Truth-O-Meter, with varying outcomes. As the candidates prepare for Tuesday night&rsquo;s Providence Journal/WPRI-12 debate, we thought we&rsquo;d take a look at their PolitiFact scorecards. Raimondo has the most PolitiFact experience, with eight rulings dating back to her successful run for general treasurer in 2010. Five of the eight were either True or Mostly True, but the others fell on the other end of the scale, including Pants on Fire.
